Where to stay? Spa hotels in Scotland on the coast, in Perthshire and in the Borders
The six houses are spread across five regions, from the east coast at St Andrews to the west coast near Oban. Whether you would rather unwind by the sea, on a country estate or on an island shapes the choice as much as the journey: from Edinburgh Airport, both St Andrews and Gleneagles are about an hour away.
Fairmont St Andrews · Stravithie BridgeSt Andrews and the Fife coast: The Old Course Golf Resort St. Andrews overlooks the Road Hole, the 17th of the Old Course, and West Sands beach; the center of St Andrews is a five-minute walk. About 2 miles outside town, the Fairmont St Andrews sits on a 520-acre clifftop estate above St Andrews Bay, right on the Fife Coastal Path.
Perthshire: Near Auchterarder, The Gleneagles Hotel stands on an 850-acre estate with views of the Ochil Hills, about an hour from Edinburgh and Glasgow airports.

Ayrshire and the west coast: The Trump Turnberry Hotel Scotland sits on the Firth of Clyde coast, about 50 miles south of Glasgow, looking out to Ailsa Craig and the Isle of Arran. About 12 miles north of Oban, the Isle of Eriska Hotel occupies its own 300-acre island at the mouth of Loch Creran, reached by a private bridge.
